Abstract

A novel sub-Kelvin refrigeration cycle is introduced in this work. The magnetically driven superfluid pulse tube refrigerator (MSPTR) could provide cooling at temperatures below 200mK while rejecting heat at 1.6K and contains no moving mechanical parts. The MSPTR cycle has an advantage over other types of sub-Kelvin cooling in that it can provide distributed cooling. Additionally the MSPTR unlike the dilution refrigerator will be able to function in microgravity without any modification. This work includes a description of the MSPTR cycle and a summary of preliminary design calculations including results used to size components and predict cooling performance.
